El Cajon drug store robber wore helmet

A robber with a knife demanded strong painkilling drugs at an El Cajon pharmacy early Wednesday morning, police said.

The man wore a motorcycle helmet, displayed a knife and walked into the CVS store on Fletcher Parkway south of Navajo Road about 3 a.m. He told the pharmacist he wanted Oxycodone and Hydrocodone, El Cajon police Lt. Jeff Davis said.

Davis said the pharmacist pointed out where those drugs were kept on the shelf, then ran out while the robber was helping himself. The pharmacist could give no description of the robber, Davis said.
